A tweet from external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday brought some cheer to injured, broke, stranded German national Holgar Misch (44), who has taken shelter in a Beas gurdwara after being booked for a brawl in Himachal Pardesh in which he broke his ribs. The minister tweeted that she had sought a report from the Himachal Pradesh government. How long can I stay stranded?”His earlier tweets to Sushma Swaraj and visits to his embassy had not worked. He tried sharing the HT report with the minister through Twitter using borrowed mobile phones but “somehow couldn’t get through”. He has no money and gurdwaras are the only free shelter he can find.
